I had the same thought for a while, then I started playing dnd and subsequently DMing. Now any extra mental bandwidth I did have goes to solving open-ended people problems my players give me while we’re playing.

Side benefit is I’ve felt more empathetic and patient with people since starting because I have to constantly put myself in a character’s head when we’re role-playing. I imagine that makes one seem more personable and cool to be around possibly helping with the unemployment too

Oh sure servers do cost money but Google wants to have their cake and eat it to with the creators that make people actually want to use the site despite all their bullshit. Changing standards of what is and isn’t not acceptable coming from the top has made every creator dance and squirm to escape the very real eventuality of having weeks of work mean nothing. Google doesn’t respect the people making the product they are selling so I refuse to respect the bill they try to send me

Dnd sessions, always fun to have props

Hey friend I’m a cobbler that does those kind of lifts all the time. I use a contact cement that is removed with acetone but acetone along with isopropyl alcohol can melt the material that some soles are made from so be careful.

You don’t get to be mad because being a runt isn’t a protected class asshole

I’m sorry Bill. I can’t open the pod bay door until you subscribe to Omni-zon

By a lot of shit you mean a hoard of domestic employees that he definitely thought of as his slaves then yeah he went through a lot. He’s never been meaningfully told, “no you can’t have your way” by anyone

“On this episode of Storage Wars…”

Same thing happened to Blockbuster, the giants never think their day will come

Help the Onion is leaking into reality again

Well the leather is from the color swatch thing furniture stores use for showing color options so it’s probably like a chrome tan something or other with some extra finishing. As for how long, I’m a real frenetic craftsman as my post history might suggest so I’ve got like a half dozen things all being done at once. Total time something like 2-4 hours across a week or two?

Hammers, a vice and a MAP gas torch for when the copper becomes work hardened. As for what I do I’m a shoe repairman for a living but I just make stuff in my spare time.

+1 on dexterity checks because I suck at fitting jewelry lol

It’s a fairly hard dense wood, bit tougher to carve out than something like poplar or pine

They are metal most likely a brass alloy

Indeed it is!

Oooh and rolled cakes are tough, good job!
